CcTLD owners add .com in this stretch’s Sedo end user sales list
Country code domain name owners buy the matching .com on this stretch’s Sedo end user sales list.
A good number of end user domain purchases at Sedo and Afternic each week are made by firms that own the same second level domain under a different top level domain. That’s particularly the case with ccTLD owners. This stretch’s list has a few examples. On the flip side, it also includes examples of firms that own a .com buying a matching ccTLD.
MobileHelp.com, which sold for $25,000, is now registered to Integrity Tracking LLC. The site offers a medical alert service called Mobile Help.
Hard drive manufacturer Western Digital bought WesternDigital.ch for $999.
The Roof Box Firm, which sells devices for the top of your car to carry sporting equipment, bought SnowSocks.co.uk for 2,500 GBP.
Online travel firm Travix International bought CheapCars.ch for 2,024 EUR.
Blender firm Vita-Mix paid 850 EUR for Vitamix.ch.
Australia’s largest grocery store chain, Woolworths, bought DrinksAcademy.com for $2,495. Oddly, it does not appear to have registered the .com.au version of this domain.
Cigarsdirect, Inc in Tampa bought DiscountHumidors.com for $1,500.
Investment firm Palm Ventures bought Palm360.com for $2,500.
TheWifeRegistry.com, a gift registry and reminder service for couples, bought the shorter domain Wistry.com for $1,295.
Way Ray, a Russian product that uses augmented reality to project travel routes on the windshield, bought WayRay.com for $4,990. It uses WayRay.ru.

YES Pharmaceutical Development Services GmbH, which uses the domain yes-services.eu, bought YesServices.com for $1,000.
Shoes for Crews, which sells slip resistant shoes, bought ShoeForCrews.com for $2,000. That’s a typo of its name that leaves the ‘s’ off of “Shoes”.
Simplestream, a provider of live video streaming technology, bought TV-Player.com for $800.
Short Cuts GmbH, a web design firm that uses Short-Cuts.de as its domain name, bought Short-Cuts.com for $1,400.

Skyland Travel Inc. in Vancouver bought WowCruises.com for $1,000.
Glass firm Emhart Glass bought BucherEmhartGlass.com $9,000. Emhart is owned by a firm called Bucher. I’m kind of surprised it didn’t file a UDRP on this one.
